Ever wondered if what you eat could actually make you happier? In this episode of 'Happiness Isn't Brain Surgery', Dr. Dawn-Elise 'Doc' Snipes dives into the fascinating connection between diet and mood. She starts by advising against cutting out any food entirely. Instead, she suggests moderation to avoid feelings of deprivation and cravings. You know that bag of cookies? Maybe just buy a single serving next time. Dr.
Snipes explains how tryptophan, a protein found in many foods, is key to producing serotonin—a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood and sleep.

Doc Snipes talks about how staying hydrated can impact your mood too.

So, if you're curious about how your diet could be affecting your happiness, this episode is a must-listen.
